The Board of Deacons,
among its many areas of concern, serves parishes or groups of families of BPC.
Each deacon or deacon couple serves ten to fourteen families in prayer and regular
contact. The deacons are great resources for many of your needs and will help
direct you to specialized help, if they cannot serve you directly. If you are
unsure of your parish assignment, check the church directory or call the church
office (733-8860) to be placed in one. List

During the Lord's Supper,
usually served on the first Sunday of each month, those desiring prayer for
healing are prayed for by teams of two. At the close of each Sunday service
a prayer team is available for special concerns.
Also special requests for healing can be made through Bud Lee.
A large group
of BPC "faithfuls" pray individually for needs of the church and
for needs of individuals both within our church family and outside of it. BPC
will assist you in your special needs through prayer. Contact Allyson at
the church office at 733-8860 during the week day office hours or Lynn
Willett by email or phone and mention that you would like your request
put on the Prayer Tree. If you are placing a request in behalf of someone
else, please obtain their permission first as a courtesy and for reasons
of confidentiality.
Birchwood now participates in the Parish Nurse program, a nationwide program that links the healing beliefs of a church body with supporting health organizations. In this community's case that is St. Joseph's Hospital.
Nadine Clarke , our Health Minister, is available to answer health-related questions and concerns. Call the church office for information for contacting Nadine.
The Parish
Nurse voicemail is checked regularly at 733-8860 ext. 140. This program is also supported by BPC's Health Committee, who sponsors Flu Shot
Clinics, blood pressure screenings, and classes on health issues.
Everyone has times of difficulty and needs someone to care, listen, and share God's love. We wish to serve those who are experiencing brokenness by extending Christ's caring and compassion person to person. For more information contact our pastoral staff, Tim or Bud, or the Stephen Leader, Irene Newell.
